Default ‘82 Xfire to EFI

I’m not a huge fan of the Xfire system in my ‘82 and would like to get an aftermarket EFI system. Everything on the car is stock except the exhaust and 5-speed. Which system should I look at, and what all do I need to buy?

I could improve it and all but I’m really going for performance. Is that total or just the injection?

if you want more than 300-350hp,then I would go with different intake and aftermarket fuel injection.your heads are not good and your cam is small.decide how much hp you want and how much you have to spend and do you want to do it all at once or a little at a time.summit has there injection for around $800 holly wants 1000.distributer 80.00. intake $125-200.everything bolts on and could be taken back to stock if ever you wanted.
